Abstract
Conditional probability distributions for the valence electrons of alkaline-earth atoms in their ground and valence excited states are constructed using large-basis Sturmlan configuration-interaction wave functions for two electrons in frozen, effective-core potentials. The distributions indicate that the ground states of Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba, and the valence excited states of Be, are much more like linear triatomic molecules, akin to doubly excited He, than like independent-particle systems such as the ground states of He and He-like ions.Keywords
